Red Light Therapy & Vitamin D, Nutrition & Healing via RLT w/ Fredrik Paulún

In this week's episode of The Red Light Report, we travel "across the pond" to Sweden! I had the chance to sit down and converse with Fredrik Paulún, a fellow red light therapy enthusiast and someone that has been building health and wellness businesses for decades. Fredrik was ahead of the curve when he brought the glycemic index trend to Sweden and to the masses years and year ago; and now he has that same feeling about red light therapy and its potential to impact people's health, which he will thoroughly address in his red light therapy book he expects to publish in 2023. 

One of Sweden’s leading nutritionists since the middle of the ’90s, Fredrik is also a leading health entrepreneur. He is an internationally best-selling author, author of more than twenty books and the next one will be about red light therapy.

Fredrik develops healthy foods for Orkla Foods Sverige under the brand Paulúns for the Swedish and international market. Fredrik is CEO of Nutribe which educates nutritional advisors and runs the fitness app Swiftr. He is also a board member and shareholder in the blood testing company Svensk Provtagning. He is constantly looking into new ventures that would fit his entrepreneurship focused on health, nutrition and sustainability.

Fredrik brings the energy and the information in the episode and I know you will enjoy listening and learning from him as much as I did. As always, light up your health!
